From all age comic books, children’s books and parenting books this is what Daddy Mojo is reading and recommends
Cautionary Fables and Fairy Tales: Africa Edition is 15 African fables drawn in a way that modern comic audiences can enjoy. Fables just sound old, musty and not at all interesting to some people. Parable doesn’t sound much more interesting either. However, Cautionary Fables and Fairy Tales manages to make all of these fairy tales and fables fun, teach some lessons and does it all with varied artwork.

The cover for Snuggle The Baby confused me at first. Without reading the press release I dived right in and looked it over. I don’t get it, I thought after going through it once. I then went to the front and back cover and clearly understood what the book was trying to accomplish. “An interactive book!” it says on the front and “includes gentle instructions…..for practice and play” on the back. Boom, now I get it, you do too don’t you?

As a child I went to our local nature center and now as a parent I take our two boys to our local several times a month. To that point, if you’re ever in Greensboro, North Carolina the Greensboro Science Center is awesome and well worth your time. Curious Critters Volume 2 takes a close up look at some of the critters that you’ll find featured at your local nature center in a way that’s educational and fun for children of all ages. As a dad, and a photographer, I’m also drooling over the photography, which is vivid and has and depth of field that makes the details on the smallest creatures really stand out.

My wife and I had the sing song discussion prior to having children. That discussion was essentially that we would not ‘baby talk’ to our kids. The Thingy Things book series by Chris Raschka may seem like a very basic, baby style book based on its cover. However, as the saying goes, don’t judge a book by its cover. These books are creative, goofy stories about animals-all the while using bigger vocabulary that your child can understand, but may not have seen in books yet.

Ninja, Ninja, Never Stop! immediately grabs your attention because of its bright, vivid colors, large letters and the fact that it has multiple ninjas on the cover. As the dad to 2 young boys; and a fan of martial arts movies this book would seem to speak directly to me. One read through the book however and you- and your young audience will be hooked.

I used to love choose your own adventure books. I read a lot and books where you seemed to be in charge of your own destiny were an escape. The Can You Survive? book series takes the concept of choosing your own adventure and adds a much more modern feel. We received the Treasure Island book as well as Greek Mythology’s Twelve Labors of Hercules.
